‘Vetrimaaran-Dhanush’s next film to be set in the backdrop of KGF’: Producer Gnanavel Raja
Gnanavel Raja, however, did not reveal more information regarding the Dhanush-Vetrimaaran movie, including if he was producing it.
Vetrimaaran and Dhanush are two of the most promising names in the Tamil film industry right now. With back-to-back films that are turning out to be both critical and commercial successes, Vetrimaaran has already become one of the biggest names in the country. On the other hand, Dhanush continues to excite his fans by coming up with projects cutting across language lines. Now, the star director and actor are reportedly planning to join hands for the fifth time with a movie set in the backdrop of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF).
While responding to a question on what his upcoming flick Thangalaan (Dir. Pa Ranjith) was based, producer K E Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green told Behindwoods: “Vetrimaaran is set to begin working on a film about KGF with Dhanush in the lead. Vetrimaaran’s film will be based on his research and findings about the area, while Pa Ranjith’s Thangalaan will focus on his discoveries. Both films might have certain elements that are similar, but what matters is how they present these things from their respective points of view.”
Since Vetrimaaran’s debut as a director in 2007 with the Dhanush starter Polladhavan, the filmmaker and the actor have joined hands multiple times, also for bankrolling films.
Following Polladhavan, Dhanush played the lead role in three more Vetrimaaran films — Aadukalam (2011), Vada Chennai (2018), and Asuran (2019) — all of which went on to become milestone films in Tamil cinema history. Dhanush’s National Film Awards for Best Actor were for his roles in Vetrimaaran movies — Aadukalam and Asuran.
Kaaka Muttai (2015) and Visaranai (2015) which the two produced had also bagged National Film Awards in Best Children’s Film and Best Feature Film in Tamil categories, respectively.
While Dhanush is currently working on Arun Matheswaran’s Captain Miller, Vetrimaaran’s Suriya starrer Vaadivaasal is in its pre-production stage.
